Lin Yixun, afraid Ouyang Hao would pat her head again, hastily rose and dodged, but inadvertently bumped into someone passing behind her.
She quickly supported the person and hurriedly apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry!"
The gentle voice made Lin Yixun freeze. She looked up to see that the person she had just bumped into was Cheng Ying. Was this a narrow road for enemies?
She slowly let go of her hand, originally thinking that meeting Cheng Ying again would be tense, but surprisingly, her own voice was very calm, "So it’s Miss Cheng, what a coincidence."
Compared to the calmness on Lin Yixun’s face, Cheng Ying was far from composed. She looked a bit pale and seemed unwell. Despite her efforts to disguise it, the unnatural smile on her face betrayed her emotions.
Obviously, Cheng Ying was not pleased with this sudden encounter.
After a long time, Cheng Ying realized her own lapse, regained her usual elegance, and greeted her like an old acquaintance,
"What are you doing here?"
"I’m here to deliver food to Mr. Ouyang." Lin Yixun paused and added, "Mr. Ouyang is my employer."
Hearing this, Cheng Ying was a bit surprised and looked Lin Yixun up and down. Seeing her in cheap clothes, it was clear her financial situation wasn’t good. She couldn’t believe Lin Yixun had fallen to this level.
Cheng Ying elegantly smiled, "I see. How have you been these years?"
Lin Yixun found it funny. Did Cheng Ying really think of her as an old acquaintance she hadn’t seen for years? They had only met three times in total, and each time ended unpleasantly. Such a warm inquiry seemed rather ridiculous, didn’t it?
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Cheng. I’ve been doing very well." Lin Yixun smiled politely, "If Miss Cheng has nothing else, I’ll get back to work now."
Saying this, Lin Yixun turned and walked towards Ouyang Hao, burying her head in tidying up the leftovers on the table.
Ouyang Hao lay lazily on a folding bed, looking at Lin Yixun’s busy figure with a half-smile. Everything that happened just now had not escaped his eyes. Although Cheng Ying and Lin Yixun were polite to each other, he still sensed something.
For instance, Lin Yixun’s indifference and Cheng Ying’s nervousness. Yes, from start to finish, Cheng Ying was very nervous. Others might not have noticed, but his keen eyes saw it all.
He was a bit surprised that the wooden block beside him could make the future Young Madam of the Leng Group nervous. Based on his understanding of Cheng Ying, she was always smooth and graceful, never losing composure in front of others.
He was intrigued and leaned closer to Lin Yixun, "You know Cheng Ying?"
Lin Yixun continued to wipe the table vigorously, not answering him.
"You haven’t answered me yet."
Lin Yixun turned to avoid him. Seeing his persistence, knowing he would keep probing, she had to give in.
"She’s a big star, who wouldn’t know her?"
"Really?" Ouyang Hao narrowed his eyes suspiciously, did he think he was a fool? Did he believe that nonsense?
"Mr. Ouyang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."
Ouyang Hao, dissatisfied with her answer, wouldn’t let her go, "My assistant had to leave temporarily, so you’ll stay here and take her place for now."
"But, the apartment hasn’t been fully cleaned yet."
"That’s your business. I need help right now. Didn’t you promise to be on call? Or are you going back on your word?"
